Karen is a PhD Philosophy student at the University of Nottingham. Her thesis examines some of the ethical issues surrounding the use of care robots in residential homes for the elderly, including whether a robot can care, and how robots should conceive of consent. She is interested more broadly in social, political, and moral philosophy, and philosophical issues arising from our use of emerging technologies. Prior to PhD study, Karen taught A-Level Philosophy and Sociology for 13 years.
